Review efficacy and safety of minimally-invasive treatments for Low Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) in patients affected by Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH). We performed a systematic review of the literature from 1993 to 2022 leveraging original research articles, reviews, and case-studies published in peer-reviewed journals and stored in public repositories. Prostate artery embolization (PAE), transurethral needle ablation (TUNA), transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT), high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), laser treatments and Cryoablation are valid and safe alternatives to the gold standard (surgery) in the treatment of LUTS in patients affected by BPH, with fewer undesired effects being reported.
回顾经尿道前列腺切除术治疗良性前列腺增生(BPH)患者下尿路症状(LUTS)的疗效和安全性。我们对 1993 年至 2022 年的文献进行了系统回顾,这些文献来自同行评议期刊上发表的原始研究文章、综述和案例研究,并存储在公共数据库中。前列腺动脉栓塞术(PAE)、经尿道针消融术(TUNA)、经尿道微波热疗(TUMT)、高强度聚焦超声(HIFU)、激光治疗和冷冻消融术是治疗 BPH 患者 LUTS 的有效且安全的替代方法,与金标准(手术)相比,报告的不良影响更少。
